About Us
Welcome to PetPlex!
Nine years ago, on a rainy night, we found a stray dog on the side of the road. He was skin and bones, but we saw a spark of life in his eyes. We decided to take him in and nurse him back to health while searching for a loving home for him. As the weeks passed, we fell in love with this resilient little guy and named him Trout because of his fondness for fish.
When we took Trout to the vet for a check-up, we discovered he had a heart murmur. Further tests revealed he needed heart surgery via catheter, costing $5000—an overwhelming amount for a young couple just starting out. We opted for an open heart surgery at $3000, the most we could afford. Tragically, Trout suffered complications during the surgery, damaging his esophagus. He had to eat standing up and frequently battled pneumonia. Despite our best efforts, after nine months and four bouts of pneumonia, Trout’s little heart gave out, and we lost him forever.
Our love for Trout and our experience with his health struggles inspired us to create PetPlex. We are committed to donating a portion of our profits to help other animals and their families afford necessary surgeries. At PetPlex, we understand the profound bond between pets and their owners, and we strive to offer the best quality products for your beloved companions.
We care deeply about animals, and our mission is to support their well-being with high-quality supplies while giving back to the community. Join us in making a difference, one paw at a time.
Thank you for being part of the PetPlex family.
